Lyrics

This silence forewarning And darkness oppressing I lay my heart on a bed of tears With misery growing So I paint a picture So dark, and so black Upon the canvass of a twisted mind My solitude engulfing And I bleed from my heart With no one to heal So alone, so afraid Only pain left to feel I pray for release I yearn to be free I hear the call of the afterlife My sins so great And paradise is calling This paean to woe From a spirit torn A requiem of a soul in decline I await the kiss From an angel so cold The savage grace of final release A penitent soul to be laid to rest Redemption must Absolution in extremis A cacophony of mourning With love deceased
